Russia is targeting Finland as a 'hostile' nation due to its NATO membership. The surge in asylum seekers at Finland's eastern border has raised concerns about a destabilization operation by Moscow. Prime Minister Petteri Orpo and Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen plan to limit border traffic and potentially round up asylum seekers. Finland built a 200-kilometer fence prior to its NATO membership.
